Okay, to start things off, let me just say that if I ever give you the aux cord in my car, you should feel special.

And when I say special, I mean super, mega, extra special with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle on top.

I rarely hand the aux cord to anyone in my car because my phone usually connects to the Bluetooth (this should give you insight into how serious I am about the music that plays in my car).

I’ve decided to write about the three most important rules of having the aux cord in my car. So that now, if you’re ever blessed with this super amazing and extremely rare opportunity, you’ll know exactly what to do.

Everybody ready?  Okay, let’s get started.

Rule #1: If I tell you to change the song, you change the song. Look, if I’m not vibing to the song that you’re playing (it’s probably Taylor Swift or Igloo Australia, or something, I dunno), then I’m going to tell you. And I personally think that it’s common courtesy to listen to the driver when it comes to music because different music gets different people hyped. I’d do the same if you were the one driving; however since you’re not, you should just change the dang song!

Rule #2: Don’t constantly change the song. Literally just pick one! This is not the time for you to be indecisive. I’m trying to be on my best driving behavior, and I can’t do that if the music is constantly changing. You can’t just leave me hanging as I’m getting into that hype song, then change it to something that’s gonna get me all in my feelings.

Rule #3: Make sure you prepare the song that comes next. If there is a pause that is longer than five seconds between one song and its successor, the ride will suddenly be awkward, and no one wants that. This is why you must prepare the song that comes next. The last thing I need is the ride to be more awkward than it already is.

Having the aux cord in my car is definitely something that doesn’t happen often, but if it does, please make sure you follow these rules that have been stated above. If you don’t, nothing bad will happen, but I will start crying.

You don’t want to see me cry. It’s ugly. And awkward. And ugly.

And let’s not forget that I’ll be driving while crying, so that’s definitely not a good thing.
